This month we explore the biblical virtue of discipline - doing what you need to do now so you can grow stronger. Jesus’ own life displays the value of discipline. He didn’t just arrive on the scene one day fully prepared for his ministry. Like all of us, he had to grow in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:52). When we read about the 12-year old Jesus in the Temple, we discover that Jesus was already well on his way to living a life of discipline - doing what you need to do now so you can grow stronger. It’s never too early (or too late) to build a firm, biblical foundation for life and the work that God has for us.
This week’s message on discipline focuses on the importance of reading God’s Word. If you want to know God better, read his book. If you want to know God’s plans for your life, read his book.
